Kanda crossed his arms over his chest, exhaling deeply as he glanced at the watch on his wrist. There was no way he was going to do this without Lavi, seeing as it was the red head's fault he was on this date in the first place. The restaurant's soft lullaby was playing gently and could be heard across the street, where the long haired man was standing, and the lights could be seen from far away. The smell of food was almost overpowering and Kanda could see the people walking in and out, smiles plastered on their faces. A pang ran through his chest as he truly noticed how late his friend really was. Cringing, he ran a hand through his hair, leaning his back against the stone, brick wall.

"Where are you…?" He mumbled, looking at his feet as he heard the sound of high heels approaching.

"Ah, sorry I'm late!" Lulubell grinned, her slim figure attracting the attention of almost every man who passed by with the stunning blue dress she was wearing. Well, everyone but Kanda.

"Tch. It's fine." He said, wishing that she hadn't have come at all. "I'm waiting for a friend…"

"Friend?" Lulubell raised an eyebrow and then snapped her fingers. "Oh! The red head! He told me to tell you he had a slight emergency and couldn't make it!" She lied.

Kanda immediately frowned. "Emergency? Is he—? I mean, what did that dumbass to now?" He snorted, trying to conceal his embarrassment. 'He better not be getting drunk without me…'

"Ah, no, it's nothing bad. Actually, I think he had to work overtime to…" Lulubell trailed off and simply shook her head, grabbing Kanda's hand and squeezing it lightly. "We should go inside before all those annoying people get any louder." Despite all the lies coming from her mouth, she was proud how smooth they came out and even more that Kanda believed them. And to her delight, Kanda hadn't slapped her hand away.

A waiter instantly was by their side as they walked in through the doors and smiled slyly at the sight of them holding hands. "Ah, a table for two I take it? Right this way, right this way." He said formally, adjusting the white towel on his arm as he lead an annoyed Kanda with Lulubell through the mounds of tables and couples. "Someone will be right with you so please, make yourself comfortable." He handed them the menus and the two took their seats.

Kanda watched from the corner of his eye as the waiter walked off and sighed, barley giving a glance at him menu. 'Great, just perfect. Lavi's not here and I don't feel like doing anything now…'

"So, are you satisfied with your job?" Lulubell interrupted, playing with the hem of the napkin as she ignored the glances men were throwing her. "I mean, have you ever considered something else?"

"No. I may not have any patience but the pay is good and hours may be crappy, but nothing I can't handle." Kanda said, barley giving her a glance. "Not to mention, I didn't have anything better to do with my life."

"Didn't? Why past tense all of a sudden, if I may ask." She inquired, raising an eyebrow.

"I met La—I really don't know actually. It just is I suppose…" He finished his sentence a little too quickly and frowned, checking his cell phone from under the desk. No missed calls. Lavi hadn't even bothered to call. 'That bastard. Maybe he did get drunk…I should probably call…'

Lulubell noticed the hesitation on his face and quickly plotted something her mind, smiled at him and let out a small laugh. "If I didn't know it, I'd say you hated me Kanda."

Kanda's head shot up and he was about to nod his head and then stopped. Did he hate her? He was too lost too say so he simply shook his head. "No, I just don't like small talk that's all…"

"Actually neither do I." She smirked, just as the waiter returned with his small notepad in hand.

"Ready to take your order?"

An hour passed, and then another, and Kanda felt his tension slowly ease as they finished eating and chatted lightly, not flirting, but just simple things such as likes and dislikes. It was a rare for him to say he didn't hate the women sitting in front of him and then he thought about how Lavi had ditched him and swallowed his anger, clenching his fists under the table.

Lulubell gave him a quick kiss on the cheek right before she left and grinned as she walked in the direction of her house, not noticing the look of disgust on Kanda's face as he felt guilt and regret pan through him painfully.

Pulling out her cell phone, she sighed, unbinding her hair as she opened the door to her Mercedes. "Road. I managed to accomplish very little. Can I speak to Tyki?"

Road giggled innocently through the other line. "He's busy. He came home really mad."

Lulubell's eyes widened slightly. "Mad? Oh no, he got denied didn't he?"

"I know…what do you think happened?" Road didn't bother hiding the sadistic tone in her voice. "Maybe he took my advice."

"Took your advice?" Lulubell felt a smile tug at her lips. "Do I want to know?"

Road's laugh echoed through the line. "Probably not Lulu, probably not but I hope he listened intently…"

Xxx

Kanda was pissed beyond belief. He had tried calling Lavi over fifty times and the idiot refused to answer his phone. Every time the voice recorded answered, he grew even angrier, because it was Lavi's voice…

But not Lavi.

'It's two in the morning…where the hell is that idiot? He can't be that drunk or he would have answered already…' Pacing around his room, he glared at the phone, praying to an unknown god that it would ring, hell maybe even receive a text message of some sort. But of course, nothing happened which didn't help in the least bit.

Taking a seat on his black sofa, he stared intently at the phone sitting on the edge of the coffee table in front of him.

It suddenly began vibrating and before it could even finish ringing once; Kanda snatched it and opened it.

"Lavi you idiot! Where the hell are you?!" He barked angrily.

"Kanda…" Lavi croaked on the other line, his voice sounded weary in a way. "Can you come pick me up please?"

Kanda immediately felt fear course through his body and he tightened his grip on the phone. "You ok? You sound…terrible…"

"Ya, ya I think so…I think I broke my wrist though…"

"You what?"

"Gawd, Yu, just come pick me up!" Lavi snapped on the other line, his breath short and pained.

"Ya ok, where are you?" Kanda asked, snatching his car keys from the table and bolting down the stairs.

"Um, at the library…"

"Library? What the hell are you doing in the freaking library?!" The long haired man questioned, frowning as he locked the door to his house, hunting down his car.

He heard his friend's uneasy laugh. "Relax Yu; I just fell down or something…"

"You fell down something?" Kanda grit his teeth and shook his head. "You're such an idiot! Why didn't you call earlier?"

"I kind of passed out…"

"Ah…"

"Ya, just hurry and I'll tell you later." Lavi lied and snapped his phone shut, wincing as he rubbed the side. "Fuck what the hell happened anyways?" He groaned to no one in particular. 'I was doing paperwork and then…crap I don't remember…Wasn't Tyki here before I left…?'

Lavi paced around the small office, clutching his wrist to his chest with unsteady breaths. 'I woke up and my wrist was already hurting like a bitch…' He glanced at the finger shaped bruises around the injured hand and inhaled sharply.

'What the hell happened?'

A/n: Mm, no rape because THAT would be going much too fast story wise and well, Lavi getting raped is just…sad…So, I wrote this instead. Hehe, Kanda might be figuring out his feelings for his Baka Usagi…mmm yaoi XD Ok, this isn't REALLY a cliffy like my others so yep! Until next time! Oh and review or I won't update! Mwahahaha….just kidding….or am I?
